Honestly the market is really tough right now so it may not be indicative of what a personal network would usually perform like for finding new opportunities. I don't think it will be too long until all this A.I. investment revamps the market and tech workers find themselves back in negotiating power.

Plus there's always an advantage for competent skill vs code Bootcamp needs.

But generally speaking I don't think it would be difficult for me to reach out and find a gig.

I don't use LinkedIn at all. I have a neat and concise resume and make the most of all of my personal connections. Every job I've landed in the last ten years has been meeting someone and getting personally referred.

Sighhh unzips

Switch that spaghetti out for a pint of ice cream and you're not living the good life

Someone please explain this to me. My smooth brain can't comprehend.

Dope. I just memorized it to 50 digits. Good to know for my intents and purposes it doesn't matter at all anyway.

So to any young kids who get into this "I am intelligent therefore depressed."

I've been there and what I've found is that if you are like how I was. I falsely correlated analysis of the universe and the discovery of it's harshness with how I was feeling and probably erroneously ignored my bias (because I was depressed) to focus on negative realizations.

It was my caustic family environment, my lack of individual freedom, poor sleep, poor diet that was making me miserable.

If you're feeling this way you need to look into Mindfulness and why existence even in its brutally bleak appearance can be an enjoyable quiet morning listening to crickets as you wake up, or being aware of noisy air vent that sounds interesting, or even the curiosities of your own wandering mind.

Our experience of existence is relative to our framing. Emotional intelligence is learning to side step the current and enjoy observing the river.

Can afford to leave. Stay for family I can't unbrainwash. 😢

Look don't be dogmatic with anything. Read it. Understand everyone has opinions. There are tradeoffs for every engineering decision. EVERY decision.

Learn to weigh them yourself and learn the intricacies of where it doesn't make sense and where it does

Lol this is great

My first fucking thought. I'm still waiting on helpdesk to respond to an issue I've already chased down to a registry key because I'm not allowed workstation admin privileges. 🙄. Which I'm fine with but more than a week to respond to a ticket? Come the fuck on
